How to cut salmon?

Salmon is expensive and very tasty fish. If you decide to separate it yourself, act neatly and consistently. How to cut salmon quickly and according to the rules? Prepare two knives: a small one, which is convenient to clean vegetables and one more, more flexible and long. It is also desirable to have tweezers, which remove the bones from the fillets.

• It is necessary to clean the fish of scales. For this we need a short vegetable knife. It is important to start with the tail, gradually moving to the head.
• Separate the head of the salmon. To do this, make incisions by slipping the knife under the gill plate. Direct the knife at an angle, trying to leave more fillets on the ridge.
• Separate the fillet from the bone. Now a flexible knife is useful. Start from the place where the carcass had a head. Strive to keep the knife as close as possible to the bone. A flexible knife allows you to cut the fillets as cleanly as possible. Separating one half fillets, turn the carcass, separate the second.
• How to properly divide the salmon so that it does notwere the bones? Lay the fillet cut upwards and cut the spinal bones with a sharp knife. Try to cut only the bones, leaving as much meat intact. We remove small bones with tweezers. And, pull the bone is necessary, continuing the line of its location.
• You still have fillets on your skin. Now there are two options: you can leave the skin, but you can remove it. Fillet steaks with skin are prepared on a grate, on an open fire. This prevents the meat from drying up too much, the steaks are juicy. If you are frying salmon or cooking salted fish - the skin needs to be removed. Place the fillet on the board with a cut upward and, starting with the tail, cut the skin with a sharp knife. Your task is to remove as thin as possible its layer.

Your salmon is ready. For frying the salmon is cut in different ways, the pieces that look like butterflies look spectacular. To do this, step back two centimeters and cut the fillets, not reaching to the end quite a bit. Then, having retreated a couple more centimeters, cut off the piece. You will get something like a book that you can deploy.

We described the simplest method of cutting this noble fish, and we hope that you will be able to do this without problems.
